“I am very happy to debut in this new format, speaking to a younger generation. I’m from radio, then I moved to television. It’s a new challenge, after a 50-year career, to discover a new, different way, but one that has its similarities with its origins in radio. It’s going to be really cool, especially being next to Praetzel who also knows a lot about football and has a lot of stories to tell”, says Milton Neves.
The first episode aired on October 15th, at 3pm, on the Podcast Histórias de Futebol channel, which was renamed “’Futebol e a Minha Vida – com Milton Neves, Praetzel and Elisa.bet’”. Follow it on YouTube and other streaming platforms.
